Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi claimed that the United States has violated all its commitments in the memorandum of understanding, announcing that Iran has also suspended its obligations under the agreement.

Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi announced that the memorandum of understanding signed with the US has been effectively suspended due to the Washington administration's failure to fulfill its obligations. Gharibabadi argued that the US violated all terms of the agreement, stating that Iran has also halted its commitments.

"US VIOLATED ALL COMMITMENTS"

Speaking to the country's press, Gharibabadi said the US did not meet its obligations under the memorandum, adding, "The US violated all its commitments in the memorandum and suspended all articles. In response to this situation, our country also suspended its obligations under the memorandum, and it is no longer being implemented."

"ATTACKS BEGAN WHILE NEGOTIATIONS CONTINUED"

Gharibabadi claimed that the US launched attacks on Iran while the negotiation process was ongoing, arguing that this approach yielded no results. The Iranian official stated, "The US has once again realized that an aggressive stance will not lead to any outcome and has received the necessary response to this attitude."

AGREEMENT CRISIS DEEPENS

The memorandum of understanding signed between the US and Iran in June envisioned a 60-day negotiation process for establishing a ceasefire and a comprehensive agreement. Recent mutual statements from both sides have increased uncertainty about the future of the agreement. US President Donald Trump had previously argued that Iran failed to fulfill its obligations, claiming the memorandum had effectively ended. Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi reported that Tehran has suspended its obligations arising from the memorandum.

Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi assessed the latest situation in the region for the country's press. Noting that the Washington administration had undermined the basis of the agreement, Gharibabadi stated, "The US violated all its commitments in the memorandum and suspended all articles. In response to this situation, our country also suspended its obligations under the memorandum, and it is no longer being implemented."

Gharibabadi noted that the US began its attacks while the negotiation phase was ongoing, saying, "The US has once again realized that an aggressive stance will not lead to any outcome and has received the necessary response to this attitude."
